About Black BOX Architecture
Black BOX Architecture is a dynamic architectural design practice based in Dunedin, New Zealand. Born from the fusion of two established firms—Bay View Design and Spotted Ink—our practice combines years of expertise, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to crafting exceptional spaces.
Our team brings together technical precision, creative vision, and a deep understanding of materials and construction methods to deliver high-quality residential and commercial projects across Dunedin and the lower South Island. We collaborate closely with clients, builders, surveyors, and engineers to ensure every design is both functional and visually striking, tailored to suit each client's unique needs.
At Black BOX Architecture, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every project is an opportunity to push boundaries, and create spaces that inspire.
